Dear All,
The problem solved.
I have to remove one of the Dell factory partitions to install Linux. Here is
what I did
1. Shrink the hard drive with Win 7 to give free space for Linux
2. Delete the READER partition (Did not touch the Dell Utility, OS and Recovery
partitions)
3. Install from DVD
Hi Tongqing,
I have recently installed SuSe Linux 11.2 on a Dell Latitude E6510 and I

- Dell Utility
- Windows Recovery
- Windows
- Reader (for Latitude ON)
I was not sure if Linux cares to have the bootloader (
Dear Tongqing,
can you send us the partition table, please? It's new to me that DELL use more
than the Dell Utility Partition, but in case they do, I guess you don't need
them - I would just delete them.
